Nope, that's balsa itself through GApplication.

Balsa uses gtk_window_present() to let the window manager know that the running copy 
should be brought to the user's attention, but the w-m chooses how to do that.  In Gnome 
Shell, all I see is a popup at the bottom of the screen saying that "Balsa is 
ready", but the window isn't raised.  That seems like an unfriendly choice!  Also, 
if I use 'balsa -m someone' from the command line, the compose window is behind the 
terminal, when you'd expect it to be in front.

So, yes, GApplication seems to be doing its thing, but the w-m can frustrate it!

Best,

Peter
